When eating poria cake, you must pay attention to the meaning of the word "poria" in this.
Recently, Mr. Li Dazhao has been frequently remembered, and he can truly be called a hundred generations.
Mr. Dazhao once wrote a couplet: "Iron shoulders moral righteousness, and clever hands write articles." He knew the unity of deeds and was loyal to his faith, so he died generously, without fear, and admired.
From li dazhao's death, Qu Qiubai's death was thought of.
When Mr. Qiu Bai was righteous, a reporter's on-site report said that Qu Qiubai "went to Zhongshan Park, the whole park was silent, and the birds and finches stopped and groaned." Walking to the front of the pavilion, I have seen four plates of small dishes and a delicious wine. He sat alone on it, pouring himself a drink, talking and laughing freely, looking no different..."
So, what did Mr. Dazhao eat before he was killed?
It's a matter of drilling the horns. The answer, if you want to find it in a serious way, I am afraid it is difficult to achieve your wishes, but often you get it inadvertently - at that time, Li Dazhao had a friend named Zhang Huangxi, and the two had many contacts. After Li's arrest, Zhang managed to rescue him, but was unsuccessful. Before Li was executed, Zhang specially asked his son Zhang Cixi to send Li a porridge cake...
Obviously, the poria cake is one of mr. Dazhao's dying foods.
This is a case, but it is not noticed.
Man will die, and his words will be good; then, when man will die, his food will be true.
At the moment of life and death, the thing they most hope to eat is the thing they usually like the most. This is completely logical.
Zhang Huangxi did not send roast duck, did not send popcorns, but sent poria cakes, which shows that he knows that Li Dazhao has this preference. At the moment of sending his old friend on the last journey, Zhang Huangxi made the right choice that can most soothe people's hearts.
Mr. Li Dazhao is a native of Laoting County, Hebei Province, that is, a person from the former Zhili District. Direct subordination means direct jurisdiction. The relationship between the Beijing Division (Beijing) and the direct subordination is equivalent to the capital's vertical administrative control over parts of its surrounding areas. The zhili area will certainly be influenced by the Kyoshi in many ways, including food customs.
Li Dazhao was born in Zhili and lived in Jingshi for many years, and likes to eat poria cakes, which is too normal.
There is no doubt that Li Dazhao and Qu Qiubai are both great warriors, and they are both warriors who eat human fireworks.
People in Shanghai and even in the south know about Poria Cake, but they don't eat a lot because there are too few places to sell it.
A long time ago, there was a small open space between the Sports Building on Nanjing West Road in Shanghai and the Golden Gate Hotel, with several shops on it, in addition to photo studios, shoe shops, and a shop specializing in Selling Beijing food, called Cui Wen Zhai. There are not many varieties sold, such as preserved fruits, twist flowers, Jingguo powder, sagema, Beijing-style mooncakes, etc. To eat authentic poria cakes, you must buy them at this store.
Shanghainese travel and travel to Beijing, and can be brought back as souvenirs, and there are almost always poria cakes in the budget.
I believe that few people in Shanghai love this as much as Li Dazhao. Compared to Jiangnan cake dumplings, poria cakes are not so tasty and not so bad, nothing more.
I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings.
Li Yu said in "The Occasional Record of Idle Love": "Cakes are expensive and loose, and cakes are good for thinness." "Poria cakes are very much in line with this gold standard. However, if it is really as thin as a cicada's wing, people often become extremely harsh, thinking that it goes against the original intention of the cake, does not walk on the shirt, and becomes a cool flower shelf. This is a situation in which it does not wait to be seen in the South.
On the other hand, many people do not take the poria cake for granted, purely out of a prejudice: two truly thin crusts, sandwiched between a lump of filling made of nuts, osmanthus flowers, honey, sugar, etc., showing a very craftsman, very Versailles appearance. Unfortunately, in their view, the arrangement of the filling, which should be similar to the area of the pie crust, was "inexplicably" omitted, quite a bit of "dog skin plaster"; more as if the large white plate in Western food only had a very pitiful spoonful of mashed potatoes in the center, and naturally felt that the mouth was full of damp, white cotton paper.
As everyone knows, the selling point of the poria cake lies in that "white paper".
Foodies must pay attention to the meaning of the word "poria" in the poria cake.
The ancient pharmacopoeia said that there is no need to be verbose, in the Book of Poetry, "the mountain has hazel, and the mountain has a ling." Who thinks about the cloud? Western beauty", how beautiful; "Picking ling, the peak of the first sun." What man says, he does not believe. She's not going to be able to do anything about it. What people say, what they say is good", there are many philosophies. Su Rui, one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", wrote a "Fu Fu of Porphyry", and did not hesitate to praise Porphyry:
Ruofu Nanjian Pine, pulling up thousands of feet on the ground, thick skin rhinoceros, root iron stone, hair that does not change, cangran independence, anointing grease in the yellow spring, by yin and yang and consolidated, like the crouching of birds and beasts, like the closed sting of turtles and snakes, the outer black like scales, the middle knot is white and pure. The upper Huo Mang does not commit a crime, the lower ant Mo Thief, after a thousand years, turns into amber, is exposed to rain and dew, and ends with the sun and the moon, so that he can calm his soul and determine his mind...
This endowment is written in a splendid and brilliant manner.
The ancients made endowments, mostly looking for chapters and excerpts, carving and piling up, mannerisms, and exaggerations. Su Ru is endowed with this gift, but we have to make another difference, because he said to himself, "There are few and many diseases, and the spleen is invincible in summer, and the lungs are cold in autumn." Treating the lungs is sick to the spleen, and treating the spleen is sick to the lungs. If you take medicine in peace, you will no longer be able to heal." After eating Poria, the disease was actually better, how not to teach Su Rui Wen to think of the spring, and gladly ordered the pen!
Facts speak louder than words. Cixi often suffered from heartache, and later ate several poria cakes made by an abbot himself, and after three days she felt no more heartache, so she ordered the imperial doctor and the imperial chef to do the same.
In fact, the poria cake is still a good tea food, a little hungry, not enough to eat. Thin is one of its benefits.
Of course, the poria cake did not suddenly become popular in the Qing Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty medical scientist Zhang Congzheng said in "Confucian Affairs": "Poria four two, white noodles two two, water mixed into cakes, fried with yellow wax." "It can be seen that it is a very old kind of cake.
As for the origin of the name "Poria Cake", there is a lot of information mentioning that it was named after the poria flour mixed in the filling or crust. But more information only says that because its pie crust is "very similar to the cloud poria tablets in the chinese medicine", it is very challenging for the psychological endurance of foodies - it is said that ginseng and ginseng-like radish are very different, so what about poria cakes and cakes like poria tablets?
